Russia / Republic of Tatarstan - Чак - Чак



We are happy to have completed the video before our upcoming holidays. The children learned this song about 6 weeks ago and since then they sing it day in and day out at school. They really enjoyed the work in the recording studio, showing off dresses, being actors and actresses in our makeshift film-studio (we had to film inside since it was still very cold and unpleasant outside) and of course eating loads of chak-chak.
Chak-chak is the traditional sweet of Tatarstan which is deep fried dough rolled in honey. We attempted to represent the hybrid of Russian and Tatar culture of the region as well as our very special flair as an international school by including different musical styles, the 3 main languages spoken by our students and relating to a range of local and international fairytales. We feel extremely privileged to be part of this fantastic event and looking forward to a lot more fun to come.

    Oh, how ever so cool.
    What a show! So much fun!

    I love this entry and I'm happy you found your way into our project.
    How could we have done without Tatarstan before?

    Brilliant!
    What a great story, from the girl falling asleep, to the wonderful birch trees and the fabulous costumes!
    And the song too - it just makes me want to taste the chak-chak for myself!

    Fantastic entry! Best wishes from Scotland.

    We really liked this - especially when Harry Potter waved his wand and the chak-chak appeared!

    Great idea to show integrity values of future world which has to be built and supported by new generation. Special thanks to young actors and actresses for talented multicultural work and funny way of representing chak chak as a Tatarstan brand

    The video is of very good quality, it adequately represents our Republic - tolerant and with a warm sunny spirit. Сatchy melody gracefully combines ethnic tunes and modern style. Beatifull talanted children are placed in the interesting scenery. Centuries-old household objects, traditional garments speak in favor of safekeeping of national traditions. It's a brilliant creative work of teachers and pupils. Good job!
